Ruth, a young woman struck by a heartbreaking loss, joins other residents in a wildly different Pacific Northwest community. Coastal View homeowners include Kevin, a young tech professional from the east coast wondering why he really moved across the country; Lou and Loretta, retirees who sold their waterfront home to start a new chapter; Champ, an often-misunderstood young man still finding his way in the aftermath of his mother's death; and Evan, who shares a family tragedy with Ruth. The residents cautiously connect with their new neighbors while closely guarding individual secrets. These connections prove lifesaving when a serial killer emerges in their midst. "Among the Bones is a compelling murder mystery, a subtle comedy involving a cast of unforgettable characters, a meditation on profound loss and its long-tail effects, a story about a community of exiles living in a cemetery who have found their own strange redemption." -Carol LaHines, author of Someday Everything Will All Make Sense and The Vixen Amber Halloway
